Notes
Note
- This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.
 - Tested against vqfx-10000 JUNOS Version 15.1X53-D60.4.
 - Recommended connection is 
netconf. See the Junos OS Platform Options. - This module also works with 
localconnections for legacy playbooks. - For information on using CLI and netconf see the Junos OS Platform Options guide
 - For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the Ansible Network Guide
 - For more information on using Ansible to manage Juniper network devices see https://www.ansible.com/ansible-juniper.
